Maybe its just me but the need to be incorporated is a poor requirement for a startup.

Any halfway decent developer should have a side project or two, so I would imagine it's a filter to see if you're actually at least semi-serious about what you're doing.

How exactly does tweeting that phrase "increase my odds"? Do I have to use the included language? I feel icky trading my endorsement for something of apparent value.

The astroturf-looking comments at the bottom of this page are also not terribly encouraging.

I agree, Though I'm more at issue with the contradiction. Getting more people into the startup pack increases my odds?

That's just insulting.

"How to make a post with curl" curl --data "param1=value1&param2=value2" http://example.com/ Yup, this is for developers, also anyone who can follow rudimentary instructions. Oh well. Some of this stuff looks interesting.

I did smile here especially when I saw an explicit example directly above it that too.

Should have required JSON posting data then just given the example of curl --data "postInfo" url

regardless awesome idea!

Beh, I think the purpose of the API call still stands. Besides, I don't think windows has curl so non-techies could get stuck on that if they didn't want to dig.
